Young Boy from the Coast docks at Oregon Ave.
Pizza and cigarettes is good way to sum up the culinary scene around Sixth and Oregon, in the legpit of Deep South Philly. So it's not exactly where you'd expect to find El Costeñito, which specializes in the cuisines of the Latin Caribbean and the Central American coast.
Young Boy from the Coast docks at Oregon Ave.
Pizza and cigarettes is good way to sum up the culinary scene around Sixth and Oregon, in the legpit of Deep South Philly. So it’s not exactly where you’d expect to find El Costeñito, a month-old ultra-causal BYOB specializing in the cuisines of the Latin Caribbean and the Central American coast. The name translates to “young boy from the coast.” Meal Ticket has a call in to learn exactly who that boy is, but we were so stoked at the possibility of legit mofongo, juicy pernil, banana batidos and Salvadoran pupusas with crackly pork skin (a short sample of the large menu), we couldn’t wait to share the find. El Costeñito is open Mon. through Sat., 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. for eat in, take out and local delivery. Full menu available on their spiffy website. They’ve also got a Facebook and a Yelp page set up. This boy knows his stuff. Here’s hoping he knows his pupusas, too.
